The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A tense, abstract duel of cunning where hidden information forces you to deduce your opponent's movements while protecting your own command ship.

What players say
Players compare Doomstar to Stratego in space, with hidden unit strength and simple combat. The single-player campaign is very short, around an hour, and many call it a tutorial. The game is designed for asynchronous multiplayer, but reviewers report that multiplayer is no longer active. The interface is functional but feels made for mobile rather than PC.
